Pew Research found 43% of women under 50 “believe in astrology”

I just watched a 30 minute VSL with a fake (A.I.) Elon Musk telling people to eat Vic’s VapoRub.
That the ingredients in VapoRub are one of three compounds which clear up Alzheimer’s –– and Big Pharma has been hiding this since NASA discovered it in 1979.
Of course, the supplements for sale contain all 3 compounds in the perfect combo dose to remove memory blockers so your loved one can “come back.”
If you didn’t know anything about the state of A.I. Video right now, it might appear very real.
And the writing, like any good VSL, was convincing, even if the science is less so.
But I bet plenty of viewers will buy.
Desperate people will believe anything.
Case in point:
There’s an article on The Guardian saying 43% of American women under age 50 believe in Astrology.
Problem is… they can’t agree which astrology to believe in.
Apparently there’s a split in the community. (Dwarf planets will do that.)
You might ask,
Why not go for the one with the best science… and discard the ones that are wrong?
“There is no wrong,” [Alan] Clay told [The Guardian]. “There are different interpretations. Right or wrong is a Saturnian construct, it’s useful but doesn’t help us understand these new energies.”
Ah, that makes more sense.
For a closer look at how “confirmation bias” affects people who want to believe, check out the full article here.
